It looks like an upper limit for the slingshot is 2x the orbital velocity, messing around with Gemini and the vis-viva equation it does...

as far as I can find, the rotational velocity of neutron stars is the fastest observed speed of a macroscopic object Wondering about an...

The fairest way to consider this question is to consider where there have been anomalies in existing experiments that deviate from the...

I find graham’s number more interesting as you can mentally go in a sequence from comprehensibly large numbers then get to a point...

Was asking Gemini trying to understand the relationship between physical and informational entropy - and they are closely related? So...

And it's still effectively zero compared to Graham's number.

So if you printed it in 10 point font on typical printer paper (3000 zeros per page) the stack would be ~10^97 light years high. But per...

1 with 121 zeroes after it is the number of zeroes in the number stated. Just as ##10^5## has five zeroes, ##10^{10^{121}}## has...

10^120, assuming that 10% of the digits in exp[10^122]~10^(10^121) are zeros ;)

The number of microstates of the universe is the largest number with physical meaning? ##S_{univ} = \frac{k_B c^3 A}{4 G \hbar} \approx...

One wing of the hotel a holds a Graham’s number of copies of the library, a single volume in each room of the wing placed beside...

It’s the larger number - on the order of 10^1,000,000 (##25^{1,312,000}## to be exact) (The story is about a library that contains all...

Got me there ##-## at first I thought, typo? (presumably yes, for an actual number of books in an actual library ##-## either...

there are around 10^10^6 books in the library

More generally, multiple late 13th century eruptions are thought responsible for the end of the Medieval warm period and beginning of...
